Miranda rights
1966
The US Supreme Court ruled in Miranda v. Arizona that criminal suspects must be told of their right to remain silent and to have an attorney before being questioned. Police grumbled; television cop shows embraced the new ritual. The words you have the right to remain silent entered the American vocabulary and prime time.
